Dunno about smart, but I'm pretty pliable at work, which is one reason why I've lasted so long in a job where I just type other people's words, all day, every day, I guess.

Only ever been to one wedding in my life. Guess they must be going out of fashion! I guess they each have their advantages, ie, in weddings, all the talking about the bride and groom goes on behind their backs; at funerals, you get to talk about it more or less to their faces. They won't answer back. Unless of course they hold a funeral pre-emptively... which has happened.

Sorry Maria, didn't mean to be ambiguous - a wedding, a glorious, glorious wedding - The Princess is getting married ... yes, my baby is going wear a very expensive frock for a day, then she and the family will each take turns wearing it for the next decade or so, including the boys, so that I feel full value has been obtained. That was the deal.
